Making local, healthy and sustainable food more
accessible is just one of the many objectives of the city’s sustainability
plan: RVAgreen: A Roadmap to Sustainability. Supporting an expanded network of farmer’s markets enable citizens to purchase fresh, local, healthy food
and assist local farmers, thus increasing and enhancing Richmond’s
economic development.
Richmond is home to a number
of farmer’s markets and the newest is the Carytown Farmer’s Market in the heart of Carytown. Located at the corner of S. Dooley and W. Cary, the market is open Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and sells fresh vegetables,
fruits, meats, cheeses, wines, and flowers from local vendors. The market runs through early November–rain or shine-and reopens in the spring.
